Recognition of IJKM Under IGI Global’s Latest Campaign

I am pleased to share that the International Journal of Knowledge Management (IJKM), under my stewardship as Editor-in-Chief, has been recently highlighted by IGI Global as part of their "Our Latest Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles" campaign.

This recognition underscores IJKM’s continued commitment to advancing scholarly research in the field of knowledge management. Alongside IJKM, the International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management (IJABIM) and the International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems (IJAEIS) were also featured — reflecting the broad scope and quality of IGI Global’s Open Access journals.

As IJKM transitions into a fully Open Access model, this acknowledgment by IGI Global reaffirms our dedication to providing researchers, practitioners, and academics worldwide with accessible, peer-reviewed knowledge.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our editorial board members, reviewers, contributing authors, and the wider academic community for their steadfast support. Their contributions are the cornerstone of the journal's success and visibility.

We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of research dissemination and look forward to continuing this journey with our global readership.

🌟 A Milestone to Remember: 7,000 Reads and Counting!

Today, I received a small but meaningful notification from ResearchGate:

"Way to go, Hakikur! Your article reached 7,000 reads."

The article in question, titled “Open Innovation in SMEs: From Closed Boundaries to Networked Paradigm”, has now been read over 7,000 times.

To many, this may seem like just another number. But to me, it's a deeply motivating moment — a quiet acknowledgment that ideas matter, that someone, somewhere, took the time to engage with the work I put into this research.

💭 Reflecting on the Journey

This article was born out of a deep interest in the evolving landscape of innovation, particularly how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adapt through openness and collaboration. It delves into the shift from isolated development models toward more networked paradigms — something increasingly vital in today’s interconnected economy.

Over the years, the paper has sparked discussions, questions, and perhaps most importantly, thoughts. For a researcher like me, that’s what makes this journey worth it.

🙏 A Word of Thanks

I am grateful to everyone who has read, shared, or referenced the article. Your curiosity and engagement keep the research alive beyond the pages.

And to young researchers out there: keep writing, keep sharing, and don’t worry about the numbers too early. They grow — slowly, then all at once.
